Whereof one of the plague.

The like increase of the bills was observed in the parishes of St
Bride's, adjoining on one side of Holborn parish, and in the parish of
St James, Clerkenwell, adjoining on the other side of Holborn; in both
which parishes the usual numbers that died weekly were from four to six
or eight, whereas at that time they were increased as follows:--

From December 20 to December 27 { St Bride's 0

although it was at a time of the year when usually the bills are very
moderate.

The usual number of burials within the bills of mortality for a week
was from about 240 or thereabouts to 300. The last was esteemed a pretty
high bill; but after this we found the bills successively increasing as
follows:--

Buried. Increased.
